My priorities for the design were to make it as cheap as
possible and to recycle many things I had around my house, but
at the same time making it worth the effort. It's a
single seat cockpit design; here are some of the features:

Fresnel Lens (refer to the materials section for more
info)

Lighted working cockpit buttons, and switches

Joystick, throttle lever, and pedals

Will use the laptop screen for 6 MFD's as well as for
the keyboard, and a computer monitor for the outside view

Keypad for precision RCS controls

Sound system for recreating the vibrations and loud
sounds of a burn

Closed cockpit

Renders

Details

Here I explain the pictures:

It is going to be composed of wood and
foam board. The wood is necessary to sustain the
heavy weight of the pilot and the monitor. The foam
board will encase the cockpit and form the panel.

In the second render you can see 3
windows. Only the middle one will work, the side
ones will be black and only for decoration.

The middle window has the fresnel lens
attatched to it, and the monitor (the grey cube in
the second render) is just placed on top of the shelf on
the outside and is easily removed. The fresnel lens
will make the eyes focus outside the cockpit, and it will
feel as if looking out a window.

Speakers will be placed under the seat,
and an airplane headset will be available to protect the
hearing while making a burn

Although not showing on the renders, on
the left wall of the cockpit there is going to be an
opening for the screen of the laptop, where 6 MFD's will
be visible, and below an opening for the keyboard.

On the panel, rectangular, circular and
square lighted buttons of different colors will be placed
for these functions: all 7 autopilots, HUD mode,
Undock, Nosecone open/close, Acelleration, Gears up or
down, TurboPump, Translation/Rotation RCS, and trims
